Hey Nutcrac,

I appreciate the advice, but I'm not ready to give up yet. Before all of this, I had a VERY good relationship with W, and I truly think that DBing can help get us through these issues.

I do think you hit the nail on the head with the remote work issue. I think her seeing me work mostly at our house has had a weird affect on her, sometimes it's almost like jealousy, sometimes resentment. Even though I always left the house throughout the day for various things, and would always be dressed nicely (I sometimes have to take video chat meetings at a moments notice), I could tell it bothered her a bit. I should mention that I've only been working remotely for 1 year. When I return home I'm planning to work from my office.

So, I'm not actually from Asia, but will be going on a trip to SE Asia to visit a friend that lives there. I've never been, and I'm really excited to go learn and explore.

I will absolutely take your advice, but it will remain in the context of improving our R. I'm a naturally optimistic person, and while this is certainly testing my positivity, I'm still hoping something can be rebuilt here.
